Software Question

I have a MacPro, bought in 2007. In order to have ICloud, I recently loaded Mac OSX 10.7.3

Originally, I had the computer loaded with the ability to run Microsoft Office. I needed Word and Excel. After loading the new operating system, I can still see the Microsoft Word and Excel documents but cannot load them, or work wih them. I get a messge that Power PC applications are no longer supported.

I tried loading Microsoft Office:Mac again from the CD-Rom and get the same message.

Any idea how I can once again work with these Microsoft programs ? Something I need to download ?

Thanks.

Since PowerPC apps are no longer supported you probably need to upgrade "office" to a newer version.
